diamond

diamante — diamond

💎♦️ Diamante = diamond, both from Latin diamas, from Greek adamas (unbreakable)

Spanish and English share the root: Greek adamas meant unconquerable, the source of adamant too. Same word for the gem and the card suit, just like English: los diamantes. Masculine: el diamante.
